Weeks of staring at nothing? Sounds like a hoot, Dave! Sign me up, at least until the "World of Watching Paint Dry" BETA kicks-off in June. ;)<br><br>I've heard very mixed reports of EVE Online, including someone telling me (wrongly I presume) that it'd shut down last year. I like the idea of a MMO Elite type game though.

That's a shame Dave but then DDO just isn't for everyone. Bren also hated it, as<br>did your namesake...<br><br>I continue to love it... last night was a blast re-doing redwillow (again) and<br>having a great old laugh. Good to have the thief...er...I mean scout back :)
<br><br>EVE I found awful... As a friend of mine who is totally living in EVE said: "If<br>you can get past the first couple of weeks of boredom waiting for your ship to<br>fly from A->B then it get's better" - but to me, if the first few weeks involves
<br>lots of sitting staring at nothing, doing nothing, then it's a no-sale. Not a<br>good introductory strategy I felt.<br><br>Different strokes again.<br><br>Joe<br><br>On Wed, 3 Jan 2007 at 18:35:59, David Knowles wrote:
